The actress who plays the wife, Shelley Duvall, gave such a tremendous performance in that "here's Johnny" scene with the axe because Kubrick made her do it over 100 times. She was extremely distressed throughout the filming of this movie to the point of PTSD because of how torturous all of it was on her.
I ask because she had much praise for Stanley for bringing out of her a good performance. Now if all you who regurgitate the same talking points that she was tortured and abused can produce one statement where Shelly referred to her experience that way, I’ll be glad to hear it. Most people who regurgitate this, seem to Overlook the fact that actors _can_ quit a project. They don’t have to go through with it. And was it the axe scene that was over 100 times or was it the bat scene in the Colorado Lounge? I mean because some people repeat stuff so much that they don’t know about, it’s like a game of telephone where they are not even correct about the rumor they’re supposed to be repeating.
You felt exactly the way Stanley Kubrick intended you to feel with this work. Great reaction. ✨ You need to watch this multiple times… and you’ll like it even more every time up to infinity.
Would love to see you check out the sequel, it's called Doctor Sleep. Also on the subject of Wendy. I saw you praising her legitimate seeming fear but also commenting on her hoarse delivery of the line Danny. Well unfortunately for the actress Shelley Duvall, the filming of this movie was her very own shinning. The director basically acted towards her as psychoticly as jack did to her character. In the interest of getting the most "authentic" performance he legitimately kept her in a state of pretty genuine fear and her exhausted weird delivery in some scenes was because he made her do them over and over again a rediculous amount of times. One shot was apparently redone 127 times back to back. So I honestly give that actress all the credit in the world what what she went through
One of the things I love about this movie is the fact that nothing about the layout of the hotel makes sense if you pay attention. The characters will be in what is clearly a kitchen, turn a corner, and be in a living area. No place would have the kitchen be open to the guests like that. And then there are even smaller anomalies, like how at the start, when Jack is entering the office for the interview, the office is clearly near the center of the hotel, yet when Jack enters, it has a window that shows the outside, but that isn’t possible given the rooms size and location. And then there’s other shots, that show people rounding corners that shouldn’t exist. The hotel itself is Lovecraftian, ever-changing, and by the end becomes actively hostile when it traps the wife within its confines. She’s been living there for months, there’s no way, even with how afraid she is, that she’d get lost like she did. It’s small details like that, that even if you never actively notice them, they add to the feeling of unease that soaks this entire movie.
Two interesting trivia bits: 1) There were no iPads in 1979 (when this was filmed). 2) Apparently Danny Lloyd was chosen for the role because he was so much more focused than other kids they were considering. Good observation - - but iPads, really? The closest thing kids had to an iPad in 1979 was Merlin (great game BTW). Fun reaction!
@@Teereacts11 I can't help it. I'm a natural born heckler. And though I guessed that you probably knew (I was leaning in that direction) - - you'd be surprised at the things I've heard gen-z say - - like yelling at characters from 1970s movies to call for help on their cell phones. I actually really enjoyed your reaction. Also, you might find it interesting to watch a made-for-TV miniseries of The Shining, produced by Stephen King, which has a lot more back stories, hotel history and information about Danny/Tony. I love Kubrick's The Shining. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. But I also really respect the mini-series. And it's quite creepy in its own right. All the best.
There's this DOPE video on youtube where this british dude breaksdown the hotel.... Back in the early 2000s, some nerds wanted to mod-in their own level into the PC version of Doom or some shit. Basically, when they were watching the movie and going over the floorplan to make this mod level version of the Overlook hotel, they ran into "impossible" architecture. So basically, the hotel has way too many doors -- and hella hallways that actually would not lead anywhere. The movie doesn't really try to fix it either....it just lets it hang there in your subconcious to confuse you like...2 percent. Super creative way to add a low level of uneasiness.
Trey Reacts I hope to see a first time reaction to The Thing (1982) and Alien (1979) these two are the greatest sci-fi horror movies ever created as well:).
Yeah, Jack didn't type anything. The director's assistant did. For 500 pages. And that was in English. They had to do it again in French. And in German. Every language this film was released in had another 500 pages typed up. Because Kubrick was insane about small details in his films.
I roll personal size slims all the time. No way am I wasting my smoke. Mad respect for us single smoke doobies. Your reaction was as smooth as my Snoop Dream roll. Thanks for the entertainment.
I was born in the Summer of love. Woodstock, Rock was changing everything. Your wise incites into this music is inspiring. So happy to know that this music can be part of your life's sound track.
Him being in the picture at the end means that the hotel has claimed him, and he will now haunt it forever. Or could also mean reincarnation. Stuck in hell I guess. He did say he wanted to stay forever and ever, he got his wish 😂 and Kubrick did the chef dirty in the movie. He is a hero in the book. Book was much better, and has even more tension to it, IMO.
Scatman Crothers, who played the black cook, had such a great experience filming this movie with the cast, he got teary eyed during an interview. After seeing him in this, and then guest starring on Sanford and Son, he became one of my favorite actors. What a classy guy. RIP Scatman Crothers.
...he had a nervous breakdown during filming due to Kubrick's demanding style. Over and over, he would say, "Cut" and start the scene over. Crothers was in tears, asking what it was he was doing wrong.
@@Bluesit32 - Couldn’t find any evidence of this. The web site scrapsfromtheloft gives an extensive interview of what Crothers thought of Kubrick. It didn’t match your description.
So there is a sequel to this called Doctor Sleep with Danny older. Fun fact from it that Danny full name is Daniel Anthony Torrance, Tony that little Danny hears is Himself in the future using the shinning (psychic powers what king calls it in his novels) to help little Danny.
There are little pieces of dialogue here and there that explain why Jack's in the photo of a 1920s ball at the hotel. Remember at the beginning, he said when he was there for his interview, he felt like he'd been there the whole time. And again when Delbert Grady said to him "you've always been the caretaker". In the end, Jack Torrence was another one of the hotel's ghosts
Hotel manager said the hotel was built over an Indian grave yard, that’s why there’s so much paranormal or “shining” activity going on there! You should see pet cemetery next time 👍🏽
Folks like to blame Shelley Duvall’s mental illness on her experience shooting this film. I think that’s a mistake. First of all, shooting is difficult. It can have grueling hours and a lot of pressure, as the process is so expensive - actors know they’re signing up for this and can cope. She had just ended a relationship and was certainly very raw and needy on the set, but after the production, her interviews are glowing and clear. As well, she went on to have a co-starring role in Popeye, played a marvelous character in Time Bandits, and produced a multi-season, award-winning tv series for kids.
It's funny. . .EVERY guy your age apparently thinks "scary" means there has to be a "monster" of some kind in the film. This story is "scary" in emotional and psychological ways. And c'mon man, "monsters" are EASY to portray as scary in a movie. THIS kind of creepiness is more subtle, but still scary if you put yourself in the character's shoes.
A reason why Shelly (Wendy) actor was so neurotic and sometimes over the top in the film, was because Stanley Kubrick worked her to death on set, bullying her and making the entire cast so multiple retakes
Exactly. Kubrick had Scatman Crothers in tears from all the retakes without telling the man what it was he was doing wrong. How could he correct his acting if Kubrick wouldn't tell him what he was doing wrong?
Great reaction, dude! I kind of dislike the ending of this film because it does cause confusion. Sort of takes a sudden left turn. I think what Kubrick was trying to say was that evil is born over and over again through time. Jack is the symbol of that evil, showing him having existed in the 20s is just like saying evil existed. But I really do wish I could see the ending which Kubrick scrapped after screening it in theaters in which the mom and son are in the hospital and they tell them that her husband could not be found. Somehow I think it would have left things more ambiguous and creepy.
No need to apologize to me (as a white dude). We’ve been making dumb decisions in horror movies (and in real life) since time immemorial. Also, and keep in mind that I understand the difference and I am neither offended nor find anything wrong with it, but I have to mention that before the bathroom scene you referred to Jack as the “N” word 14 times, lol (I had to go back and count). I really find that funny in the most “love everyone” way possible. Also, also, glad to see you taking up for Wendy, you’re a good dude. Keep up the great work sir, can’t wait for you to see The Thing.
It’s 2 different words. It’s kinda dumb but I don’t expect you to understand bro. The one he used is usually used with Malice intent. Anytime I hear it, no matter what color you are it just makes me uncomfortable because they’re usually using it in a racist manner.
@@Teereacts11 I really do understand the difference and agree 100%. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable at all when you say it, and I’m disgusted with them saying it. Nothing but love and respect from me, I promise.
You have been gone awhile last time I watched a reaction of yours was The Green Mile and I have just subscribed to you , but I enjoy your reaction to this your reaction to the N word 😂😉 but when they said in the beginning about the motel being built on an Indian burial ground that's a No-No LOL that could explain a lot of what was happening 😉✌🏾
Stephen King writing is often good at showing the influence of racism on ugly or diseased personalities. It really disgusts him, and he takes any opportunity to stomp on it in his writing.
I wouldn't expect you to know, understand or even care, but the word used in American hip hop and the word used in this movie are 2 completely different words with 2 different meanings Mr Thomas.
What a compelling argument, John… your mom could probably use a second viewing as well. Last time we watched it she was quite distracted, I can assure you.
Stephen King didn't like Kubrick's film adaptation of his book. While the cinematography & filming & acting were great & as you can see he built amazing atmosphere to creep ya tf out lol, he didn't tell the story as it was meant to be. Great movie. Book was better.

"This movie isnt even scary, it just makes me uncomfortable" hah best description for it
Kubrick delivers suspense that is so incredible in the Shining that the word “Tuesday” will scare TF out of you.
The actress who plays the wife, Shelley Duvall, gave such a tremendous performance in that "here's Johnny" scene with the axe because Kubrick made her do it over 100 times. She was extremely distressed throughout the filming of this movie to the point of PTSD because of how torturous all of it was on her.
Did she ever say that?
Yes she has.

It was the bat on the stairs scene she had to do 100+ times
And yes she has said it interviews

No need to apologize. For some reason we just never "get out of the house."
This is actually a very accurate documentary about life after marriage
Your knowing Jack cut out the distributor earned you a sub from me.

The lady in the bathtub was a suicide (drowned herself when she was old, and her man left her). Both naked ghosts are the same person
As I recall, she was a famous actress or something in her youth. Age took her career and her man from her. So she took her own life.
